"That's right, young master. We had passed by a peach grove, and I saw that the trees were full of peaches, and although they didn't look very fat, they must have been used to quench their thirst. Everyone has been on the road for so long, wait for me to go and pass a few peaches, come and give everyone a taste! Brother Li said seriously, as if he was happy that he had found a conscientious excuse for his lazy behavior.

"Oh, no, no! The old man is still in the car in front of us, we left our duty without permission, and it will not be good if something happens. Wu Xiaoge was the first to object.

"I'm about to go to Haoyang Town, what can happen? Besides, we are still in Fuyuan County, how can anyone dare to do anything in Fuyuan County without long eyes! You can rest assured. Brother Li explained confidently, winking at me as he spoke.

I also instantly realized, "Speaking of which, I'm really thirsty." It's also pretty good to eat two peaches! Yue'er, what do you think? ”

Yue'er looked at me frowning, a little unclear. "Hmm...... Me too. ”

I smiled and said noun, but also quite helpless. Quietly glancing at the carriage in front of him, my father sat quietly in the carriage, without making any movement. Then he beckoned to Brother Wu to come over, and commanded softly: "Brother Ang, you come in and sit in the car, and I will ride the horse for a while." ”

"This ......"

Before Brother Wu could say anything, I pulled him from the horse to the cart, and then rode on the horse quickly.

"We'll come as long as we go, and we don't have to tell our father yet. Ma'er, Brother Li, let's go. ”

"Hey! Young Master......"

"Childe ......"

With the whispered shouts of Brother Wang and Brother Wu, Brother Li and I quietly "escaped" from the dull road.

We secretly rejoiced, but we didn't know. As soon as we walked on the front foot, my father motioned for Lin Zhongshu, one of the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, to follow.

Talking and laughing all the way, he walked unhurriedly towards the so-called "peach forest" along the way. It was not only the endless long road that tested my young heart, but also the scorching sun on the horizon that scorched my last remaining patience.

"Li Can, have you arrived? If I can't find it again, I'm really going to discuss it with you. ”

"Don't worry, it's almost there. I remember not so far! Look, young master, isn't that! ”

Li Can is the name of Brother Li, and I heard that this name was given to him by his father. With the importance that his father attaches to Steward Li, it is not difficult to understand that his father named Steward Li's child in the name of his brother. But I think Can's words are too vulgar, so I call him Brother Li.

I looked in the direction of Brother Li's finger, and under that piece of sunshine, there was really a peach tree tempting passers-by.

Green leaves, pink fruits, two resting grandparents under the tree.

Let us not help but whip up our horses and gallop.

"Drive! Whoever arrives first eats first, and when they go late, they watch each other eat. Drive, haha! ”

"Young master, don't bring such a play! It's not easy for me to walk all morning! ”

With the lure of hearts, our speed has increased by more than one notch. Soon, the two of them "killed" the peach forest.

I jumped off the horse one by one, my shoes stomping on the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust. Brother Li also jumped off the horse after him.

The dust blown by the wind carried by the fast horse was blowing one after another, and all of them pounced on the two old men sitting by the peach forest to rest, a grandfather and a grandmother.

Grandma has gray hair, but there are few wrinkles on her face, and she has a fresh peach in her hand, and that hand is as delicate as the peach. The grandfather on the side had a lot of wrinkles on his face, but his hair was as black as ink, and he was carrying a burden on his right shoulder, and he was choking on the dust we brought and coughing.

"Ahem! Ay! Ahem......"

"Oh, old man, are you alright?" Grandma put down the peach that was about to be peeled, and gently patted Grandpa's back with her hand. Seeing them snuggling up to each other made me feel guilty.

"Grandpa, are you okay?"

"Ahem! Out of the way, out of the way, hehe. ”

"It's us who is reckless, I hope you don't be surprised."

"Hehe, cough!" Ah Gong smiled and waved his hand, signaling me not to take it to heart.

"Hey, young master. It's okay, don't take it to heart. After Brother Li finished the horse behind him, he said casually.

I turned around and glared at him in utter displeasure, thinking, "Is there anything we should be saying?" This dead Li Can doesn't know what he's thinking all day long. ”

My deterrent effect on Brother Li is actually quite big, after all, he is following me! When I saw the look in my eyes, it was a lot quieter.

"Let's go! Brother, let's go in and have a good sweep! ”

"Okay! Hey. ”

With that, we swooped down on the nearest peach tree.

Pink or red peaches hang on the branches, and the surface is covered with a fine layer of white powder-like plush, which adds a touch of greenness to them. In fact, these peaches are not ripe, and they are hard when pinched.

I suddenly wondered where the ripe peach in my grandmother's hand came from.

And Brother Li, pinched this, kneaded that, took it off, and threw it on the ground casually if he didn't like it. I don't know yet: "What's going on?" Why aren't they cooked! Not a single soft one. ”

"That's enough, just pick a few. Don't throw it around if you're not familiar with it! It's not good for people to see. I casually counted Li Can two sentences, and glanced back at my grandfather and grandmother by the way.

I didn't want to take a look, but I didn't expect that what appeared in front of me were two pairs of sharp eyes. Grandpa and grandma were motionless, staring in our direction with blazing eyes. The solemn eyes made me feel a chill.

"Hey! Almost, let's hurry up! I was so shocked by this gaze that I couldn't stay any longer, urging Li Can to leave here quickly.

"Alright! Here, young master. This one is the most popular for you. Brother Li reluctantly took his eyes off the peach tree, picked out the largest and most ripe one from the bag of peaches and handed it to me. Before that, I didn't forget to wipe the peach on the clothes on my chest a few times, as if it was a lot cleaner.

Brother Li and I took these seven or eight peaches and walked in the direction of the tethered horse, which was actually the direction where Grandpa and Grandma were.

Under the gaze of those two eyes, I slowly brought the peach to my mouth.

Suddenly, under that cold gaze, two smiles suddenly appeared, which were incompatible with the coldness of the gaze. These two smiles are from grandpa and grandma.

"Childe, don't eat!"

With a scold, a white shadow descended from a tree branch not far away.

And I, without even seeing the man's face, only shook the peach in my hand and flew out and landed on the grass beside me.

I looked at the peaches in the grass, the bare half of the jade, as if I had seen it somewhere. "This jade tablet...... It's Lin Zhongshu's! ”

"Don't move, take your hands out slowly!"

It wasn't until the sound of this voice that I finally made up my mind. Because the owner of the white shadow has already stood in front of his grandfather and grandmother. A light green jade bone sword in his hand was against Ah Gong's neck.

"Lin Zhongshu!" I shouted in annoyance after seeing the man's face thoroughly. "What are you doing?"

"Returning to Gongzi, it was the master who sent me to protect Gongzi. Just before the son picked the peach, the two of them kept staring at the son. It wasn't until Li Can handed the peach to the son that the thief laughed when he saw it, and put his hand into his cuffs, which was punishable. ”

"No, no...... Baby, you misunderstood. ”

"Don't move, thief. Tell me who told you to do that. ”

Ah Gong explained bitterly, but Lin Zhongshu didn't give him this opportunity, and still interrogated unrelentingly.

I finally couldn't stand it anymore, so I quickly stepped forward and pushed Lin Zhongshu's jade bone sword aside. scolded: "I'll just eat a peach, you don't make people laugh, you make people cry!" Ah Gong, he didn't hurt you, did he? ”

"Whew...... No, no. It's my father-in-law's fault, I knew that I should have listened to the child's mother's words, and I didn't save any broken peach pits. Ah Gong gasped, obviously frightened. As he spoke, he pulled his hand out of his cuff.

After opening the palm of the hand that seemed to be holding something, three or four peach pits that were dry but still sticky to the flesh appeared in front of us.

Obviously, it was just after eating.
